It’s been raining here off and on
for over a week, and you won’t
hear me complaining. Although it’s
so needed, there are those who
seem to take the grey skies, and
damp days personally.
When life
hands you lemons, make
lemon
cookies I say.
These turned out delicious, very lemony, with just the right amount of sweet/tart flavour.
It’s a prize winning recipe I found on Pinterest, and you can find it here. The only thing is mine are not quite crinkly enough…maybe I needed more butter. Or better weather.
I have a sidebar button on my blog, titled “Practically Pinterest” that way if I find something fun, tasty, or great, and have tried it out, I can post it there so if you are interested you can give it a try also.
This is the first Pin to go up, and I highly recommend giving them a try. They barely made it through the photo shoot. Crinkled or not.
But if you figure out how to make them crinkly, please let me know.

Oh they sound divine as I make some tea....yummy!
ReplyDeletewell here is a ko-ink-ee-dink ( made up word, lol) , I pinned the same one!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made them yet, I will today and let you know how I do!
Good Morning, Jen! These cookies would be delicious and very refreshing. Your photos are great. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh yummmmmm! I want to try them too! And I love your "Practically Pinterest" idea!
ReplyDeleteHave yourself a happy weekend, Jen!

If the cookies are half as good as the photos they are out of this world. Have a wondeful weekend!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Jen. I like your idea of a recipes tried button. I just pinned pretty pictures not knowing they led to real food until a friend called me on some very strange ingredients. I need to go back and put a disclaimer on my board. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey look great to me..crinkles or not! :)
ReplyDeleteCrinkly or not the cookies look delicious with a hot cup of tea. Just the thing for a cold rainy day by fire side as you conjure up your next blog post. I would imagine that perhaps the humidity may have something to do with texture. I don't know. Ask the Barefoot Contessa or Giada, or maybe Martha. As for me, they look good as they are. Gotta love Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteYum, I love anything with lemon, except my water!
ReplyDeleteThese would be tasty with a cup of tea.
Give me lemon, i will make ice lemon tea...... :)
ReplyDeleteOH, they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThese look and sound delicious, Jen. Beautiful photos! I'm a big fan of lemon cookie, lemon meringue pie, lemon cakes, key lime cupcakes, etc. I plan to bake these this weekend. Thanks for sharing. :-)
ReplyDeleteTempting, very tempting. There's nothing like the fresh scent of lemon to brighten a gray day.
ReplyDeleteThey look totally scrumptious !!
ReplyDeleteIf only I could reach into the monitor and grab one ... or many ? you would have none left at all, LOL
That is a great idea to have a side bar click to what you really enjoyed from Pinterest.
I will have to have a peek!!
Joy : )
They look YUMMY ! Wonderful photos ! Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love anything with lemon! I can just imagine the wonderful flavor! We just got back from walking on our last good day here in the mountains...it's going to get COLD tomorrow! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteThese sound really yummy Jen. It's fun to find a new recipe that is a real hit. We have had 4 sunny days and the last 2 with temperatures in the mid-teens. Just glorious! However, Hurricane Sandy will be bringing lots of rain and wind from Mon - Wed this week. :( It will be dreary again. I may have to bake.
ReplyDeleteYum!! I love lemon in bakery goods. My mother in law made me a lemon pie when I was pregnant and I still crave it to this day. She is gone now and I never got her recipe. So I love anything with lemon instead. I don't pin so I will be checking out your sidebar from time to time.
ReplyDeleteAnd the rain...we have had it off and on and now it's just cold. Brrrr.
XO,
Jane
They look dreamy. My husband made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, also taking advantage of the rainy weather to stay inside and bake. Not many of them left either.
ReplyDeleteHere I am, about to turn out the lights for the night...and then your lemon cookies pop up on my screen! Time for a midnight snack! Gee thanks!
ReplyDeleteWho needs crinkles??? I bet they are delicious just the way they are. I am hoping that our rain has stopped so that I can spend some of this chilly day cleaning in the garden. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Laura
It's been raining here since yesterday with more rain predicted. Might be time to try these out - crinkles or no, they look delicious. Lisa/Fresh Eggs Daily
ReplyDeleteSounds good! Judy likes to make lemon bars, those are good, too.
